Long awaited, but finally back in print, Cash’n'Guns is back on shelves!

For those unfamiliar, Cash’n'Guns recreates the class stand-off scenario from Reservoir Dogs, pitting four to eight players against each other. Every player is given a foam pistol which they must load and point at other players (using cards) in an attempt to get them to lower their own weapon. The second edition version has been updated with new artwork, new guns, and additional rules.

Fluxx continues to scoop up every nerd property available with the launch of this week’s Regular Show Fluxx!

If you’ve never touched a version of Fluxx, the gist is that the rules change as you play, beginning with the simple draw a card, play a card rule, but going crazy from there. For the Regular Show version, Looney Labs has tailored the cards to reflect characters and catchphrases from the show, including Yeahuh!, Doing Donuts in the Park, and Do Me a Solid. For a limited time, Pulp also has the No Rules Guy promo card to accompany the base game.

You though it would never happen, you thought the third edition codex would never be replaced, but Games Workshop has finally released a seventh edition codex for Grey Knights. This hardcover volume contains new stats and rules for the related miniatures (new and old) as well as back story fluff for the faction.

Cue up Tom Sawyer, because World of Tanks: Rush has rolled into the store!

Based on the popular online game, this board game adaptation incorporates artwork from the online version and has players selecting cards to build up their squadron of tanks. Two to five players then defend their headquarters against their opponents, bringing in reinforcements when necessary in order to attain victory.

From the makers of Rivet Wars comes the most violent, brutal sports board game you’ve ever put kneepads on for. Kaos Ball covers the gamut of the sporting season, having players draft, train, and form teams (four different teams are represented by elaborately designed sets of miniatures) as well as play through rugby-style game play focused around area control mechanics.

Anything Pathfinder can do, Dungeons and Dragons can do, too.

With that in mind, Wizards of the Coast has released the first set of miniatures for fifth edition/D&D Next. These oversized boxes of miniatures contains four randomized figures from a selection of forty-four possible options.

Following hot on the heels of the last two expansion pack releases for their respective games, Fantasy Flight‘s Lord of the Rings and Star Wars LCGs each receive new add-on packs this weekend.

Darkness and Light is the last expansion pack for the Echoes of the Force storyline, feature ten additional objective cards that allow players to explore the Sith, convince people your a god with C-3PO, and fly the Empire’s biggest, baddest ships.

The third expansion pack in the Ring-Maker cycle, Trouble in Tharbad adds sixty new cards to the base game, including cards that walk players through a journey through the infamous Dwarf city, fighting off Orcs and saving the Dwarf informant, Nalir.

No one can hear you scream in Legendary: Encounters.

Based off of the mechanics of the highly popular Marvel Legendary card game, Encounters adapts the Alien franchise into another cooperative experience. Players work together to outlast hordes of Xenomorphs as Ripley, Bishop, Dallas, and other characters from the franchise. But, beware, if you spawn a chest-burster, you become a Xenomorph and attack your former teammates.

We’ve trudged through the snow and ice just to bring you, dear readers, the newest installment of New Game Stuff. Okay, fair enough, it’s not that bad out now and, yes, we could have posted this from home, if need be, HOWEVER, there is new gaming stuff and we are going to tell you about it.

First up, with Magic Game Day arriving on the morrow, it’s time for the Gatecrash Event Decks to show up. For this set, the decks focus on Boros and Simic, meaning red/white and blue/red/green, respectively. The Simic Guild deck comes packed with killer green cards, like a Thragtusk and a Wolfir Silverheart, while the Boros deck includes ton of money cards, like Clifftop Retreat, Champion of the Parish, Spark Trooper, Silverblade Paladin, and more. So, lets do the math, not only can you play these competitive decks in tournaments and do well, but you’ll also make off like a bandit with all the money rares included in them.

Expand your spellcasting playbook with the Forcemaster vs. Warlord expansion set for Mage Wars. Within this set are all the spell cards, mage cards, spellbooks, markers, and rules that you’ll need to incorporate these powerhouses into your base game of Mage Wars. And, whoo boy, these two robed wizard-types are packed full of the butt-kicking. Forcemaster likes to kick other players in the face with her mind and whip them about like a ragdoll with her telekentic prowess. On the other hand, the Warlord has his minions soldier on for him while he brings the death from above with his brutal war magic. Either way, you’re going to be challenging your opponent like never before.

If you just can’t wait to see how Peter Jackson ends his Hobbit saga (or you can’t read…but then you’d probably not be looking at this), create your own ending with the second Hobbit saga expansion for the Lord of the Rings LCG game, On the Doorstep. Within this expansion are three additional scenarios that take two players across the Wilderlands, pitting them against giant spiders, Smaug, and the armies of Bolg on a cooperative journey. Of course, to topple these challenges, you’re going to need new heroes, treasures, and player cards. Luckily, you don’t have to venture across the Misty Mountains cold to find them, because they’re all contained within.

But maybe hobbits aren’t your flavor (they do have all that hair).

If not, the newest release for the Dungeon Command miniature game, Blood of Gruumsh, is chock full of Orcs for your battling pleasure. This boxset contains an entire Orc faction, ready to play directly out of the box. That means there are twelve prepainted figures depicting an owlbear, an Orc Chieftain, a wereboar, and much, much more. Or if you’re feeling random, slap your Orc faction together with a bit of Elf and Goblin and have an old fashioned D&D hoedown!

Finally, this evening we’re going to write a lot of words. But we’re going to do it in an order that turns them into a sentence. And from those sentences, we’re going to tell you the names of four fresh additions to the Pathfinder universe. First up is the Shattered Star Poster Map Folio which provides detailed maps for Varisia, Magnimar, and Kaer Maga. Next is the Animal Archive which details the fauna of the Pathfinder universe, including armor-wearing triceratops. The Snows of Summer begins a new Adventure Path known as Reign of Winter. And, finally, Pathfinder Online: Thornkeep provides GMs all the information they need to run adventures in and under Thornkeep, as well as details on the upcoming Pathfinder MMORPG.

Banks may not be the most popular entities right now, but I’d wager a guess that they might earn a little more love if they all looked like last week’s Deadpool Bust Bank or this week’s Black Costume Spider-Man Bust Bank.

Occupy Spider-Man Bank just doesn’t seem as likely.

If you’ve been a comic reader for a while or know anything about Marvel comic history, you may have heard that The Defenders get laughed at a fair amount. To be fair, they were comprised of a rather unusual group of heroes (I mean, how the heck did Hulk, Dr. Strange, and Namor ever have anything to talk about?). However, as is the way with comics, everything that was made fun of can be serious again, which is the case with Matt Fraction‘s new Defenders #1. Starting up this week, the new take on the classic team is once again lead by the master of magic himself, Steven Strange, but also claims Namor, Iron Fist, Red She-Hulk, and Silver Surfer. Yes, another eclectic roster, but in Matt Fraction‘s hands that means good reading. Especially considering his run on the Immortal Iron Fist is one of the most exceptional comic runs in recent history. Add to all of that the fact that the team will be chasing down the new Black Hulk and you’ve got a recipe for insanity.

Another book that dredges up the hits of the past, polishes them off, and places them all shiny and new into your lap is Dynamite Comic‘s Voltron #1. The first thing you’ll notice about this book is the gorgeous painted cover by industry legend Alex Ross. As usual, Ross conveys childhood nostalgia with every stroke. Inside the book, you’ll find Ariel Padilla’s artwork to be equal parts colorful and explosive. Story-wise, the book pulls from all incarnations of Voltron to create a fresh take on the characters for new and old readers alike.

If you’ve been following the DCU Online Statue collection, you’ve likely noticed they’ve all been top quality sculpts of fan favorite characters. You’ve probably also noticed that the Joker has not been among the releases thus far. Well, this Wednesday, that changes.

Feast your eyes on the Crown Prince of Crime’s DCU Online Statue.

Just not too long, he’ll dose you in acid.

Okay, so you’re preparing for your holiday feast, getting the turkey cooked, the stuffing stuffed, the potatoes mashed, and the nog egged. Then you dip a cup into the bowl of eggnog, take a sip, and realize…something’s missing. Think. Think. Wait a tick, that’s it! The X-Men is what’s missing!

And that’s where the new Uncanny X-Men and Avengers Toon Tumbler Pint Glasses come in handy, adding that extra little spice of nerd that’s so desired in your holiday meal.

If it’s Comic List Highlights and it’s Pulp Fiction, then it’s time for your New 52 Update. In the New 52 Update we, the comicly nerdy, employees of Pulp Fiction tell you, the hungry for information, customers which DC Relaunch books ship this week with a one word description of each.

DC isn’t the only kid in the schoolyard dropping the #1′s like they’re hot. Marvel has their own relaunch occurring in the Ultimate Universe. And if you haven’t heard, Spider-Man is dead, long live Spider-Man! Yup, Peter Parker is dead, but Miles Morales is the brand new Spider-Man.

Where did he get spider powers? How did he get the costume? What’s his relation to Peter? When did he decide to don the mantle? Come for the mystery, stay for the teenager hijinks! Plus there’s that sweet new black and red suit!

Can anything else restart this week? Apparently, yes, because Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 begins next week, too.

“Wait” you say, “Buffy ended at season 7! What is this season 9 you speak of?”. Though Buffy did end, on television, after her seventh season, her story has been continuing for the last couple of years in comic form. Basically picking up where the TV series left off, Buffy has been leading a literal army of slayers against a conglomeration of the show’s worst villains in battles across the world. After the cataclysmic ending of season 8, Buffy is getting back to the basics in San Francisco in this new edition to the fan favorite story written by the series creator himself, Joss Whedon.

Solomon Grundy born on a Monday. Died on a dark and dreary Tuesday. Made into a statue on a nerdy and normal Wednesday.

Next in line for the DCU Online Statue treatment is indeed the grey Goliath of Gotham, Solomon Grundy. These limited run statues have been sculpted off of Jim Lee’s adept pencils and have all been some of the slickest statues on the market since their inception. Gaze upon him.
